RFID to unite families in case of natural disasters
Filed in archive Implementation on December 5, 2007
natural disasters can bring a lot of trouble along because in the mayhem caused you might lose touch with your loved ones and you may have to spend a lot of anxious moments searching for their whereabouts but all this is expected to change with RFID. The state of Texas has come up with the Texas Special Needs Evacuation Tracking System which would keep track of citizens in event of any evacuation. Here the evacuees will be issued a bar coded RFID wristband which would be scanned and the information would be added to the bus boarding log. The information would then be transferred to the data center and a GPS system will be used for tracking the vehicle.

Upon being transported to a safe destination real time information will be used for helping families reunite. This system would surely prevent families from having sleepless nights in event they get separated from any of their family members. All thanks to RFID which would be playing an important role in re-uniting families!!

We are all familiar with natural disaster. It is the consequence of a natural hazard and the examples are volcanic eruption, earthquake, or landslide which affects human activities. Human vulnerability, exacerbated by the lack of planning or appropriate emergency management, leads to financial, environmental or human losses. The resulting loss depends on the capacity of the population to support or resist the disaster, their resilience. This understanding is concentrated in the formulation: "disasters occur when hazards meet vulnerability". A natural hazard will hence never result in a natural disaster in areas without vulnerability, e.g. strong earthquakes in uninhabited areas. The term natural has consequently been disputed because the events simply are not hazards or disasters without human involvement. When natural disasters strike, it can leave a huge weight on your dwellings, as well as your finances. I was fortunate to have access to quick money loans, which helped tremendously when a natural disaster struck my hometown. The people who were affected by the California wildfires should be informed and have the same access to the extremely useful resource – quick money loans. Flood devastated my community back in the winter of 2007. Unlike many victims in the California’s current wildfire, I was fortunate enough not to lose my home. Still, I was forced to evacuate under short notice. Not only was I unable to stay at home, but the freeway was shut down, and I was not able to get to my job. While making no money, I was spending more money. I mean, I really didn’t have a choice and I was clearly at a roadblock. To make matters worse, I didn’t have flood insurance at the time and had to pay all of the damages done to my home and my belongings. That was besides the supply of food needed and the hotel bill. Natural disasters can really cause financial disasters. I have since gotten flood insurance, but I was still unable to cover all of the costs. I then found out about quick money loans, and thank goodness I did. Now, I’ve made sure that if anything like that should ever happen again, I will be prepared. Even still, I would use quick money loans in a heartbeat to help pay for any emergency needs. Click here to read more on Quick Money Loans.
